Sometimes a last-minute grocery run on Thanksgiving is necessary. Burned your last pie crust? Bought plenty of yams, but forgot to restock your red wine supply? Though major retailers like Target and Walmart will be closed for the holiday, you can usually find a local grocery store or two open. But what about favorite grocery stores? Like, is Safeway open on Thanksgiving? Thankfully, yes, Safeway is open on Thanksgiving in 2022, so you can head there to get whatever you need (or forgot).

When does Safeway open and close on Thanksgiving day?

Safeway’s opening and closing times on Thanksgiving Day will vary by location. Most Safeway stores will open at 6 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day.
